Alrighty - so the new beast is safe and sound parked at a mates house waiting to be bought home sometime between Xmas eve and Xmas morning.
Everything seemed to go OK and handover but it went over time - I has so many questions and what if's.
Small issue's
- I had the autoelec wire pin 2 (or so I thought) but when I turned up nothing - so no ESC for now (will get that fixed ASAP).
- The indicators work but at a crazy speed - there is a known issue with the Rangers and LED trailer lights. I have tower LED trailer's before and not had an issue but the Van does so I will sort that out - they still work.
- A little annoyed - I thought the storm covers could be left on permanetly, apparently they need to be removed and added every time we want to use them
The Clearview mirror's rock! I can see down both sides on the Van - happiness here
I also purchased a second remote (4 x + 1 Off) light switch to mount near our bed. The guys were kind enough to show me how to program it to the lights so we can figure out which lights will be on which switch.
There was a lot to take in and I'm sure I'll get a few things wrong the first time we take it away but I'm not to stressed. I'll probably end up making small labels and attaching them on the various taps underneath.
I threw it over the weighbridge on the way home and got the following (with a full tank of fuel and I'm pretty sure the 3 x tanks were all at 100% full):
(A: is the front axle, B: is the rear axle and C: is either than van axles (hitched) or the van axles and jockey wheel (unhitched)
Tare: 5.76T
Hitched
A: 1.42T
B: 1.80T
C: 2.54T
Unhitched
A: 1.56T
B: 1.34T
C: 2.86T
I think I'll need to remove excess form the rear of the car to give me a little wiggle room on the weight.
I'll also try and do a "step by step" checklist for setup (in order)for when we arrive until it becomes second nature.
